OVERVIEW OF INTERNSHIP
A motorcycle, often called a motorbike, bike, or cycle, is a two- or three-wheeled motor
vehicle. Motorcycle design varies greatly to suit a range of different purposes: long-
distance travel, commuting, cruising, sport including racing,and offroad riding. Motorcycling
is riding a motorcycle and related social activity such as joining a motorcycle club and
attending motorcycle rallies.
The first internal combustion, petroleum fueled motorcycle was the Daimler Reitwagen. It
was designed and built by the German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm
Maybach in Bad Cannstatt, Germany in 1885.This vehicle was unlike either the safety
bicycles or the boneshaker bicycles of the era in that it had zero degrees of steering axis
angle and no fork offset and thus did not use the principles of bicycle and motorcycle
dynamics developed nearly 70 years earlier. Instead, it relied on two outrigger wheels to
remain upright while turning.
The first commercial design for a self-propelled cycle was a three-wheel design called the
Butler Petrol Cycle, conceived of Edward Butler in England in 1884. He exhibited his plans
for the vehicle at the Stanley Cycle Show in London in 1884. The vehicle was built by
the Merryweather Fire Engine company in Greenwich, in 1888.

category. As of 31 December 2020, the market capitalisation of the company was ₹68,474
crore (US$9.6 billion).
The name of the company was changed from Hero Honda Motors Limited to Hero MotoCorp

Hero MotoCorp can now export to Latin America, Africa and West Asia. Hero is free to use
any vendor for its components instead of just Honda-approved vendors.
On 21 April 2014, Hero MotoCorp announced its plan on a ₹254 crore (equivalent

CHAPTER – 2
INTRODUCTION
Hero Honda started its operations in 1984 as a joint venture between Hero Cycles (sometimes
called Hero Group, not to be confused with the Hero Group food company of Switzerland) of
India and Honda of Japan. In June 2012, Hero MotoCorp approved a proposal to merge the
investment arm of its parent Hero Investment Pvt. Ltd. with the automaker. This decision
came 18 months after its split from Hero Honda.
"Hero" is the brand name used by the Munjal brothers for their flagship company, Hero
Cycles Ltd. A joint venture between the Hero Group and Honda Motor Company was
established in 1984 as the Hero Honda Motors Limited at Dharuhera, India. Munjal family
and Honda group both owned 26% stake in the Company.
During the 1980s, the company introduced motorcycles that were popular in India for their
fuel economy and low cost. A popular advertising campaign based on the slogan 'Fill it –
Shut it – Forget it' that emphasised the motorcycle's fuel efficiency helped the company grow
at a double-digit pace since inception. In 2001, the company became the second largest two-
wheeler manufacturing company in India and globally. It maintains global industry leadership
to date. The technology in the bikes of Hero Motocorp (earlier Hero Honda) for almost 26
years (1984–2010) has come from the Japanese counterpart Honda.
Hero Motocorp has five facilities at Dharuhera, Gurugram, Neemrana, Haridwar,
and Halol under the Green Field stage. These plants together have a production capacity of
over 76 lakh (7.6 million) 2-wheelers per year. Hero MotoCorp has a sales and service
network with over 6,000 dealerships and service points across India. It has a customer loyalty
program since 2000, called the Hero Honda Passport Program which is now known as Hero
GoodLife Program.
It is reported that Hero MotoCorp has five joint ventures or associate companies, Munjal
Showa, AG Industries, Sunbeam Auto, Rockman Industries and Satyam Auto Components,
that supply a majority of its components.

As of March 2013, the company has sold over 7 crore (70 million) 2-wheelers since its
inception in 1984. It sold 60.7 lakh (6.07 million) 2-wheelers in 2012, out of which 55 lakh
(5.5 million) were motorcycles. Hero MotoCorp sells more two-wheelers than the second,
third and fourth-placed two-wheeler companies put together. Its most popular bike, the Hero
Honda Splendor sells more than 10 lakh units per yea

CONCLUSION
I can confidently tell that the internship were very helpful to me because they were
very closely related to the subjects studied in the college. Since instructors were present with
us all the time there wasn’t any difficulty to complete things. Our internship went in a well
planned schedule without any hiccups.
In. SRI VENKATESHWARA LAXMI MOTORS,HERO , we learned about the
maintenance and servicing of bike . We learned how to operate the tools used for assembly
and disassembly in easy and efficient manner. Since the instructors were always present to
guide us we learned about different parts and their functions.
We also had the opportunity to learn about the out of syllabus topics like Accounting,
Billing, Filing GST returns. These are a part of every working organisation out there and is
pretty helpful for us.
